About Lee Bladon
Holistic Therapist, Somatic Psychotherapist & Author
Me & My Journey
Hello, I’m Lee Bladon (pronounced blay-dun). I’m a holistic therapist, somatic psychotherapist and coach specialising in deep emotional healing – but I didn’t start out this way…My journey began back in 2000, when I had a successful career and what looked like the perfect life. Yet despite my outward success, my baseline level of happiness and fulfilment was only about 4 out of 10. I was plagued by chronic anxiety and a persistent feeling that there had to be more to life – but I had no idea what to do about it.
I spent the next decade reading everything I could find on psychology, spirituality, consciousness and philosophy – searching for meaning and a way through. I learnt a great deal during that period, but it didn’t really change who I was. Despite all that knowledge, I was still anxious and unfulfilled.
My Big Breakthrough: Going Within
Then one day, it dawned on me… If I wanted deep transformational change, I needed to go deeper into my consciousness, because I couldn’t think my way to enlightenment and wellbeing. I realised that had to get out of my head and feel down into my heart (where emotions live) and into my belly (where repressed emotions are buried), and that’s when the real changes began.
When I started feeling into my “stuff” instead of just thinking about it, it all started to unpack, heal and reintegrate. I began to feel whole, happy and fulfilled, instead of anxious, insecure and flat. I was transforming, and so was my life! My baseline level of happiness and fulfilment increased from 4/10 to 8/10, and my anxiety faded away as I worked through my stuff and discovered who I really was.
Psychology Meets Spirituality
Along the way I discovered something that would become the foundation of my work as a somatic therapist and transpersonal practitioner – that psychology and spirituality aren’t separate – they’re simply two dimensions of the same inner landscape.
Our psychological “stuff” – the limiting beliefs, emotional wounds and reactive patterns – is simply our consciousness in a contracted and conditioned state. When we work through that material somatically and feel our way through it rather than just thinking about it, something naturally opens up. Clients often find that the deeper the healing goes, the more they begin to experience a genuine sense of presence, clarity and connection that transcends intellectual understanding. This sits at the heart of everything I do as a holistic therapist.
My Training and Experience as a Transpersonal Therapist
Over the past 15+ years I have studied and trained extensively in multiple modalities, including:
- The InCorr Method (trauma-informed somatic psychotherapy)
- Anxiety & Panic Therapy
- Internal Family Systems (parts-work)
- Hakomi (mindfulness-based somatic psychotherapy)
- Focusing (somatic psychotherapy)
- Holistic Counselling
- The Enneagram (psychospiritual typology)
- Psychosynthesis (transpersonal psychology)
- The Diamond Approach (essence work)
- Spiritual Life Coaching
I integrate all of these approaches in my work, drawing on whichever framework best serves each client’s unique journey.
Over the years, I have also developed a strong empathic sensitivity that allows me to tune into what’s happening within my clients – emotionally, energetically and somatically. It’s hard to fully describe, but it allows me to guide their process with a depth and precision that goes far beyond what questioning and reflection can achieve. It means I can actually feel into my client’s issues, and assist with their healing and transformation in ways other coaches and therapists can’t.
As a holistic therapist and somatic psychotherapist, I work at the intersection of body, psyche and consciousness – addressing not just your symptoms or patterns, but your relationship with your own inner life. Unlike conventional therapy, which tends to work at the level of thoughts and behaviour, my approach goes deeper – into the body, the nervous system, and the emotional material held there. This is where the real drivers of suffering and stuckness live, and where lasting change actually happens.
My role isn’t just to hold space and listen – it’s to actively guide you through your inner landscape with clarity and precision. I’ll help you understand what’s happening and why, and support you in feeling your way through it rather than just thinking about it. Drawing on 25 years of study, practice and direct personal experience, I bring both breadth of knowledge and genuine personal understanding to every session.
I am the author of two highly-rated books on psycholgy, spirituality and inner transformation, The Science of Spirituality (2007) and Awakening to Wholeness (2012).
Since 2018 I’ve been working one-to-one with individuals on Zoom and in person in Grantham, Lincolnshire, offering somatic therapy, anxiety therapy and spiritual life coaching – as well as a broader range of holistic therapies – to clients across the UK and around the world.
What is a transpersonal therapist?
A transpersonal therapist works at the intersection of psychology (personal consciousness) and spirituality (transpersonal consciousness). I guide you towards deeper self-awareness and awakening by sharing wisdom, presence and practices developed through years of study, training and direct experience. Unlike regular therapy that works at the level of mind, transpersonal therapy works at the level of consciousness itself – helping you to experientially awaken to your true nature. We work somatically to understand the inner landscape you’re navigating, illuminate patterns that your mind isn’t aware of yet, and gradually awaken tto the wholeness of your being through psychological healing and spiritual embodiment.
What makes you unique as a transpersonal therapist?
As a transpersonal therapist of 8+ years, I bring a unique combination of direct experience, extensive training, and an empathic nondual presence that allows me to sense what’s happening within my clients – somatically, emotionally and spiritually. I’ve walked this path myself – from anxiety to awakening – so I know the terrain intimately. My highly effective approach draws on depth psychology, somatic inquiry, the Enneagram, Internal Family Systems and esoteric knowledge. I’m also the author of two influential books on spirituality and consciousness. This depth of knowledge and experience allows me to guide you with clarity, compassion and wisdom that comes from lived understanding, not just intellectual study.
What is your approach to healing and awakening?
The central element of my approach is called somatic inquiry or embodied inquiry. It involves feeling into your body, heart and soul, energetically and emotionally, to gain access to information and states that your mind isn’t yet consciously aware of. Awakening usually happens gradually as you process the psychological material that is obscuring your true nature. When your release this mental, emotional and energitic “baggage” that’s been holding you down spiritually, your consciouness can soar to new heights.
How can you support my healing and awakening?
In addition to my highly specialised training, unique approach, and years of experience, I have developed a nondual, empathic connection that allows me to sense what’s happening within my clients – somatically and emotionally. It enables me to feel into their issues, and assist with their healing and transformation in ways most other coaches and therapists can’t. I have studied psychology, spirituality and esoterics for 25 years and have been doing inner work for 15 years, so I have walked the path myself and know the “terrain” like the back of my hand.
What is it like to heal and awaken?
Healing liberates the parts of our consciousness that are wounded and conditioned, and re-integrates them back into the wholeness of our being. This ongoing process gradually shifts our identity from ego (our wounded, deficient, conditioned, conceptual, separate sense of self) to essence (the liberated, unconditioned, authentic, integrated, wholeness of our true nature). Enlightenment becomes possible when we have more liberated essence (soul) than conditioned essence (ego), i.e. 51% to 49%. But enlightenment isn’t the end of our journey because the rest of our ego still needs to be dissolved and re-integrated. And there are even subtler aspects of our consciousness waiting to be discovered, e.g. emptiness, spirit, totality and beyond.
